The FirmDWP Investment Management is a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) with the Texas State Securities Board. We manage taxable and tax-deferred accounts for individuals and families.
Investment Manager vs. Brokers As a Registered Investment Adviser, we hold a fiduciary relationship with each client. Simply put, this means we are legally held to the highest standard of care - making investment decisions for the sole benefit and interest of our clients. Conversely, broker-dealers are simply required to make suitable recommendations to their clients. Instead of having to place his or her interests below that of the client, the suitability standard only details that a broker-dealer has to reasonably believe that recommendations are suitable for clients. A broker's duty is to the broker-dealer he or she works for, not necessarily the client served. |
